Fuck you, Oscars.

modage:
I was really surprised to see The Social Network sweep the awards here. I still maintain it's a solid B+ film and think people may have gotten swept up in the hype. But I have a feeling this will not be taking the award next year for the Redux...

Alexandro:
maybe, but it's better than a b+

my perspective is that it's such an easy film to underrate. nothing in it is particularly special, let alone groundbreaking.
yet it's perfectly done and executed. it manages to be emotional and create sympathy for a character trying so hard no to be liked. it uses all of the traditional elements in surprising ways. maybe a lot of us don't see it that way, but the fact that the main character is in his 20's speaks volumes about the decade that just ended, even if the film never puts that on the table too explicitly.
